Abstract Cycads are ancient plants that establish symbiotic associations with plant growth-promoting (PGP) microbes. These ancient associations are rarely contrasted with more recent associations involving PGP microbes and legumes. This study investigated if Vigna unguiculata growing in Encephalartos villosus rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils shares similar symbionts with E. villosus and if there is any sanction by plants towards certain soil bacteria. Also, the biomass accumulation and plant nutrition of V. unguiculata growing in these soils was investigated. Vigna unguiculata seeds were grown in E. villosus rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils. Thereafter, growth characteristics and plant nutrition were analyzed. Vigna unguiculata plants grown in E. villosus rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils were nodulated by Paenibacillus, Bacillus , Peribacillus, Brevibacillus, Alkalihalobacillus , and Lysinibacillus species identified in E. villosus coralloid roots. Bacteria isolated from nodules and coralloid roots were phylogenetically close, regardless of the soil from which these bacteria came. That supports the filter theory by which specific environmental conditions select certain microbial groups to establish symbiotic interactions with plants. No significant differences were observed in the total plant biomass, however, V. unguiculata plants grown in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils invested significantly more resources in belowground biomass that could be related to the extra nitrogen coming from the biological nitrogen fixation that is devoted to roots. This study shows that V. unguiculata and E. villosus growing in similar soil conditions may share the same symbionts promoting plant nutrient assimilation and growth, this opens an idea of a common evolution of the two species and their symbionts.

Abstract The study of winter stress tolerance in perennial legumes needs to consider the complete symbiotic system including both plants and bacteria since these two partners are differentially affected by stress conditions. Here, we compared the regrowth after a freezing stress of four different associations of two alfalfa populations differing in freezing tolerance (A-TF0 and A-TF7) inoculated with two Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti strains (B399 and NRG34) of contrasted adaptation to cold. To understand the contribution of each partner to a better regrowth performance of an association after freezing, we identified molecular traits having major roles in cold acclimation, freezing tolerance, and those involved in the crosstalk between alfalfa and its symbiotic partner. Regrowth after exposure to a freezing stress was 35% larger in the A-TF7 × NRG34 than in the A-TF0 × B399 association. The metabolomic study of roots, crowns and, more specifically, nodules, revealed profound changes in these organs, switching from a sink to support cold acclimation to a source of reserves enabling regrowth after deacclimation. Marked increases in concentrations of stachyose and raffinose, two sugars of the raffinose-family oligosaccharides (RFO), and in the expression level of a gene of the RFO synthetic pathway were observed in response to cold acclimation supporting the importance of a protective role for RFO in alfalfa. Both cold-adapted partners of the symbiotic association contributed to increases in arginine concentration in nodules in response to cold acclimation and deacclimation underscoring the importance of N storage and remobilization for a successful overwintering in alfalfa.

Abstract The freshwater sponge, Ephydatia muelleri , is an emerging model system for studying animal:microbe symbioses. Intracellular green microalgae are one of the more common symbionts that live in a facultative mutualism with E. muelleri . While these symbioses have long been known, the identity of the algal symbionts in E. muelleri cells has not been studied in detail. Here, we isolate and characterize endosymbiotic algae from E. muelleri collected from different geographic locations. We find that the algae can be transmitted through asexually produced gemmules and importantly that they can form symbioses with different, differentiated sponge cell types in the adult sponge. Our findings indicate that at least two algal lineages form endosymbioses with E. muelleri . One of the lineages includes species commonly found in samples from two locations in Canada and one in the United States (clade 1: closely related to Auxenochlorella pyrenoidosa ). The other clade includes algae found in sponges from one site in Maine, USA, and Lewiniosphaera symbiontica , which is a strain isolated in 1956 from the freshwater sponge Spongilla . We compared microbiomes found in cultures of microalgae as well as the original sponge hosts, and found that very similar bacterial microbiomes associate with both clades (91 orders of Bacteria are shared among the samples we compared). The microbiomes found in the cultures resemble, with a high degree of overlap, the microbiome associated with the sponge host.
